So far in Hyrulean history, historical dates are rarely found and rarely reliable. Historians have managed to piece together a chronology of events that shaped the [[Light World]] we know today, but the exact number of years which transpired between these events is usually an approximation, and sometimes completely unknown. The most credible theories group history into eight eras.{{a}}The following sections are split into these major eras of Hyrulean history, and further sectioned off into major events instead of precise years. Events that are most recent and thus better understood are listed topmost. Each section that follows delves further and further back into the past—into the misty uncertainties of antiquity. | So far in Hyrulean history, historical dates are rarely found and rarely reliable.

{{quote|Before time began, before spirits and life existed, the three [[Golden Goddesses]] descended upon chaos. [[Din]], with her strong flaming arms, cultivated the land and created the red earth. [[Nayru]] poured her wisdom onto the earth and gave the spirit of law to the world. [[Farore]], with her rich soul, produced all life forms who would uphold the law. After these goddesses finished their work, they left the world, but not before creating a symbol of their strength, a trio of golden triangles which together could become known as the [[Triforce|''Triforce'']].}} | {{quote|Before time began, before spirits and life existed, the three [[Golden Goddesses]] descended upon chaos.
